About:
LAPACK is a linear algebra library, based on LINPACK and EISPACK, designed to provide routines for handling simultaneous equations and matrix algebra efficiently, particularly on shared memory vector processors, parallel processors, and clusters. The code is written in Fortran, and requires the BLAS (Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms) library.

[»] The license is the modified BSD, not original BSD.

See the COPYING file in the latest version. The license prior to 3.1 may have been fuzzy, but it has never been the original BSD license. Using LAPACK has never required an advertisement, although we'd really appreciate a citation.

The license is now given explicitly in the COPYING file, and it is essentially the BSD license without the advertising clause.

My bad, but I'm pleading insanity. I've updated the record, in either case. :)
